Interesting that no Godden after Robins saying he planned to give him minutes. Just hope that means he's doing better than expected & not that he's had a setback.

I know we’ve got a few fitness bods on here.

What’s the advantage of not giving players short of match sharpness like Godden, Dabo, Marosi and Kelly a game in the U23s? Is the rest worth more?

Robins seemed to suggest earlier we didn’t have enough U23 games and he’s having to play them fit, yet doesn’t use a free mid week game to get some minutes into them. Too soon after Saturday?

Bit pointless really, same with players like bakayoko or gyo who havent been playing. Get them playing in this for a bit of match fitness.

It's never been used properly for things like that

Mad that Jobello is just an U23's player now. Nowhere near the 1st team.

I've often thought this. Perhaps Robins believes that U23 games are an unnecessary risk for key players - and would therefore rather risk them in league games.

But there’s key players and then there’s someone like Sheaf who’s barely got on the pitch for weeks now. Give them some game time so I’m the event of having to play them they are ready.

Yep, and then when we ever need to call on these players, it takes them a few first team games to get match fit/sharp and they're ineffective until then.

Wonder if they're protecting the players from testing positive for Covid as well?

Less purchases now Godden not playing?!
If Sheff Utd buy either O'Hare or Hamer, I'm blaming anyone who subscribes !!

I get the feeling Robins doesn't rate the u23 matches as being a worthwhile risk. They're not exactly high intensity

From:INTERVIEW: Sky Blues Latest Fitness Update



That’s what confused me. I read that as he wanted more U23 games but he doesn’t use the ones he gets.

He’s basically just said Walker is second to Max for the lone role now, so why not use the games to get him up to speed?

Surely thats better for players returning from injury though? Rather than throw them in a high intensity game to start with and risk the injury happening again.

When the old reserve league was sacked off was there any reason given? Always seemed better than the U23s that replaced it. Added bonus that they played the games at night so you could actually go and watch them rather than relying on the clubs twitter feed.

Jobello got the ball out right and waited to pick a pass to Ngandu who slotted it in the corner

Last 15 mins with 10 men were very good. Eccles absolutely bossing it - reading of the game is top drawer. Jobello looking better than a few weeks ago
